Scott Carey Descendants

Family Reunion 2013

These events may still be in the pipeline, but due to changed circumstances Janee has not been able to fulfill these following events, but please keep an eye here. I have started plans for the next Family Reunion in Traralgon and Walhalla. I have two venues in mind and I am waiting for their packages to come through on email. I am looking at either Quality Inn or La Premiere.At this stage the main day will be Saturday before Melbourne Cup Day in 2013. We will start with a formal opening address and a presentation on our family history and then break off into family tables and exhibits. Lunch will be provided with the entry fee.

I will arrange a dinner on Saturday night and have a "The Scott-Carey Family's Got Talent" Show. This will require the Family groups e.g.: Hider vs. Fox vs. Trewartha etc harnessing their talents for the benefit of their family's history. You could present a song, a poem, a short film, a presentation about a family member from womb to tomb, etc. Each family will have 10 minutes to present. The collaboration must be endorsed by all family members. The winning and runner up families will win a trophy and a hamper of goodies. Start planning now!

On the Sunday I am planning a day to Walhalla. We will have a gathering around the Peter 'Patrick' Carey grave. I will have the grave marked by then. There are so many things to see and do in Walhalla but the Fire Station is a must as our Patrick Carey was contracted to build it in 1901. The sign in front of it has his name on it.

I have also made some inquiries about whether there is any documentation about his role in building the Rotunda. I spoke to Callan at the Walhalla Museum and he is looking into it for me. Many alterations have occurred to the original structure that was designed by Mr F. Meyer in 1896 and was built the same year. It was only meant to be a temporary structure but it still stands majestically today. Family oral history recounts stories of Patrick Carey being involved in it's construction. Hopefully we can confirm this through Callan.

This day trip will also see us have the opportunity to look at our Dedication Tree for Patrick Carey and take in the wonderful ambience of Walhalla: Heaven!!

Trip to Mauritius 2014

We have 19 people interested in the trip with a guide. I am waiting for the Travel agent to get back to me with some prices for flights and accommodation and I will let everyone know. For those who did not attend the Reunion please let me know if you are interested in joining us on a trip of a lifetime!
